The most specific and limited permissions that can be denied on a database scoped credential are listed below, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.
| Database scoped credential permission | Implied by database scoped credential permission | Implied by database permission | 
|---|---|---|
| CONTROL | CONTROL | CONTROL | 
| TAKE OWNERSHIP | CONTROL | CONTROL | 
| ALTER | CONTROL | CONTROL | 
| REFERENCES | CONTROL | REFERENCES | 
| VIEW DEFINITION | CONTROL | VIEW DEFINITION |
